Serve image through IIIF image server and viewer upgrade

Page history last edited by Ying Jin 4 years, 2 months ago

Project Purpose

 

In our Digital Scholarship Archive, we have collections that items may have multiple PDFs, or multiple images, either in jp2 or JPG format. Our current content management  is using openseadragon as JP2 viewer and other format follows browser default behavior. Listing each images or PDFs individually in a page means the end user needs to click each file to view them. IIIF image server provides advanced, interactive functionality for end users.

 

Following reference from https://iiif.io/community/faq/#what-are-the-benefits-of-iiif

 

  • Fast, rich, zoom and pan delivery of images
  • Manipulation of size, scale, region of interest, rotation, quality and format.
  • Annotation - IIIF has native compatibility with the W3C annotation working group’s Web Annotation Data Model, which supports annotating content on the Web. Users can comment on, transcribe, and draw on image-based resources using the Web’s inherent architecture.
  • Assemble and use image-based resources from across the Web, regardless of source. Compare pages, build an exhibit, or view a virtual collection of items served from different sites.
  • Cite and Share - IIIF APIs provide motivation for persistence, providing portable views of images and/or regions of images. Cite an image with confidence in stable image URIs, or share it for reference by others–or yourself in a different environment.

 

For our images, we would benefit from combining multiple images in one viewer and manifest delivered metadata on the side. Here is an example page from Welcome library using universal viewer -

Development Milestones

 

To integrate IIIF image server with DSpace, we need to generate the image manifest from item/collection metadata (manifest generator). The generated manifest will be sent to IIIF image server and the images will be served in Universal Viewer. 

 

Milestone one -

     development of manifest generator

Milestone two -

     integration of IIIF image server and universal viewer

Milestone three -

     DSpace XMLUI update
